What kind of degree do Airlines want to see on a resume?
My end goal is to have a ATP license and fly cargo for UPS or FedEx (or someone), getting there's not my actual question. Like it says above, besides having all my ratings and certifications, what kind of degree do airlines look for when they hire? Do they want Associates or Bachelors? Do they want it in Aviation or would any degree be fine?
Currently am pursuing a BA in Transportation and Logistics Management with a focus in Aviation Transportation from American Military University. (They are more legitimate than people think… Stay on subject please) I have been told they just want something that is in the realm of aviation or something that affirms my intelligence. Let me know what you guys think.

No need more degree you need relation.
Heu… Flying a UPS 208 Caravan or FedEx 208B Super Cargomaster or DHL 208B Grand Caravan?

The major does not matter, but it should be a 4 year degree. A BA in basket weaving works just as well as an aviation degree. Plus, if aviation goes through a down cycle, you could make a living weaving baskets after the layoff.
The degree just makes the resume acceptable to get an interview. What gets you hired is the ratings and flight experience.
Point #1.) NOBODY CARES what sort of degree you have. A Bachelor's degree in underwater basket weaving would be just as welcome as one in aviation management or in math or science. The simple FACT that you HAVE a four-year college degree is enough to pass the initial screening of your resume.
Point #2.) If you MUST take a college degree in order to be employable, then you SHOULD take one in a subject that will allow you to earn a living outside of aviation in case this flying thing doesn't work out for you. ANY degree with "AVIATION" in the title is TOTALLY WORTHLESS if you lose your medical, get laid off or some other reason why you can't fly.
"I have been told they just want something that is in the realm of aviation"
FALSE. Any major will suffice, so long as the degree earned comes from an accredited institution. The major airlines actually prefer diversity in their employees, not cookie cutter clones who have all studied the same thing. What any degree shows is that you've met a minimum academic standard, that you're probably trainable, that you probably have some study skills, that you have some social skills, and that you are probably disciplined enough to endure a rigid and challenging program of study without quitting. In other words, it demonstrates qualities that show that you have a reasonable chance of getting through their training program.

- Flight status from Paris to Benin (country in Africa)? When I tried to see the flight status Live in route on Air France, all it states is? "Flight position Not available at this time". What are the reasons that could be? When I have tried to see the flight status for other flights, I have no problem seeing the Live Flight status, so why am I having difficulty for this flight. I even contacted the airline and they don't know either. So any information on this would be helpful and interesting.
- How do I see which seat I was assigned on an Alaska Airlines flight if I booked my flight through Skyscanner? I can't find how to do it- I have done it online before, but maybe I can't find it because I got it through a discount site?
- I want to take cash to Mexico what's the safest way? I'm going to Mexico around June and I'm gonna take a couple thousand dollars with me, I'm not going to put the money in the atm or cards because I want to exchange the money in the Mexico airport there I get the pesos, I will probably take two wallets in my pocket and dress to blend in and not attract attention, I've traveled alone once but traveled to Mexico by plane around 20 times I know how everything works, but what's the safest to take the cash
- What a levels are most suited to an airport and airline management degree at uni? Not really sure what a levels or BTEC are most desirable or relevant to this degree. Does it matter what subjects I do at sixth form?
